Leading the Culture of Accomplishment

Any good
thought or idea is only half done till it is worked upon to deliver results. It
becomes important for

HR professionals to facilitate interventions, provide
tools and most importantly entice early adopters to gain acceptance and
propagate the ideology to others. For a certain ideology to become a prominent
element of the organizational culture, behaviors and activities aligning to the
ideology ought to be rewarded. Continuous and later periodic interventions need
to be planned and executed for the same. This draws from the theory of
conditioning.

HR
leaders and practitioners can device a number of

-Procedures

-Tools

Here are
a few I propose:

a)Personalized
Portal: Each organization I believe must have an accomplishment portal for its
employees with features such as

a.Activities
to accomplish

b.Professional/Personal?

c.Timeline
– Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, Half Yearly & Yearly

d.Resources

e.How?

f.Make
visible to other members?

g.Seek
help within the organization?

h.Status
– Red, Green & Yellow

The
activities are made visible both to the individual as well his/her reporting
manager. HR thereby has a database of all such activities the individual
members wish to accomplish. These can help identify improvement areas, design
developmental plans, succession planning, aid talent management, performance
management, plan OD interventions and thereby retention.

b)Accomplishment
Boards: A bulletin board where the accomplishment stories get published.
Accomplishments – irrespective of magnitude; individual, team or organization
get published encouraging others to follow suit and motivate the accomplishers.

c)Rewarding
Group/Cross-team accomplishments: A culture of collective accomplishment goes a
long way in building trust and collaboration within the organization. Rewarding
group accomplishment also encourages thinking beyond and above self.

d)My
Champ: In one of the organizations, I worked, we launched this initiative where
any individual in the organization could recognize fellow colleague who has in
any manner helped accomplish a task/activity.

e)Make
it part of the performance management process: Organizational accomplishments
need to drill down to management and then individual level making way through
the goal setting process.

These
action items can create the right climate for the organization to tread the
path of accomplishment.
